"What's the matter, Mr. William? Why did you summon me?"
"I want to talk to you about my health. First, I apologize for my bad behavior towards you earlier today. I shouldn't have done it. I was overwhelmed by indescribable pain. I hope you understand. Secondly, I want to change our agreement. It will still take you a long time to heal me, perhaps a month or six months. Clearly, you will be able to do it sometime soon. I--."
"Sorry, Mr. William, I apologize for interrupting you. Why are you so sure that I can heal you for that long? Tomorrow I will already understand and provide you with a cure. Do you know something?"
William woke up to a long buzzing sound in his ears. He held his face and said, "I'm not dead yet."
The middle-aged man sat up and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a black light emanating from a necklace with red eyes hidden beneath it.

The moment Solus hissed its threat, the Gate reacted as though an earthquake rippled through its very bones, sending thunderous shockwaves outward that cracked every platform, wall, and floating structure with terrifying speed. The once-stable sphere of symbols surrounding the heirs fractured into spinning shards, each shard glowing violently before bursting into raw energy that rained down like fragments of collapsing constellations.Andrew stumbled backward, clutching his chest as the Sapphire flickered so weakly it barely illuminated the veins running across his skin. Noir lunged forward, shielding Andrew instinctively with one arm even though his own flames sputtered erratically, torn between Phoenix fire and the corrupt shadow twisting deeply through him after the previous trial.Sahara screamed as the visions in her head surged like tidal waves, her hands clawing at her temples. “The Gate is collapsing! The structure—this entire realm—it’s destabilizing too fast!”Yuki grabbed h

The Gate did not shift gently this time. It detonated.Light—not white, not gold, but a blinding fusion of every spectrum that ever existed—erupted outward, consuming the chamber like a supernova blooming in slow motion. The ground vanished beneath their feet. The ceiling dissolved into sky. The sky dissolved into nothing. Reality peeled itself open like a curtain pulled by invisible hands that belonged to something ancient enough to shape worlds without touching them.Andrew fell first, his body too weak to resist the gravitational collapse forming in the center of the void. Noir reached for him instantly, movements instinctive and frantic—but invisible force gripped both of them and pulled them apart.Yuki screamed Andrew’s name.Sahara called Noir’s name.Jiro cursed under his breath.Rayan yelled something incoherent.Mika reached for anyone she could touch.Then everything stopped.The void around them froze into a sphere of glowing symbols—runic shapes rotating slowly like celes

The Gate convulsed again, swallowing the remnants of Noir’s explosion inside layers of expanding shadow that rippled across the chamber like waves stirred by an unseen, colossal heartbeat. The air thickened, then dropped into a cold stillness that made the hairs on Yuki’s arms stand upright. Every surface—stone, wall, floor, even the falling debris—froze mid-motion, suspended unnaturally as if the Gate itself inhaled and held its breath.Yuki stepped back instinctively, gripping her staff as every particle of air vibrated with a familiar and terrifying energy she had worked her entire life to keep dormant. Shadows spread across the ground beneath her feet like ink spilled with malicious intent, crawling upward toward her legs with an intimacy that made her skin crawl.Sahara gasped softly. “Yuki… the Abyss is calling you.”Rayan muttered, “Great. Because things weren’t horrifying enough already.”Jiro stepped protectively between Yuki and the spreading darkness. “Stay behind me.”Yuki

The chamber following the Gate of Sacrifice shifted into a suffocating twilight, thick with floating dust motes that glowed faintly like dying embers suspended in still air, creating an atmosphere both serene and unnervingly oppressive. The sky—if it could be called a sky—throbbed with roiling crimson clouds that churned slowly overhead like congealed blood reacting to unseen cosmic pressure that saturated the entire Gate dimension.Noir carried Andrew closely, one arm wrapped under his knees and the other bracing his back, while Andrew’s head rested limply against Noir’s shoulder, his breathing shallow and painfully erratic. The Sapphire embedded in Andrew’s chest flickered sporadically, each pulse dimmer than the last as though its light were retreating deeper into his body to escape the damage it had sustained.Yuki rushed forward the moment she saw Noir emerge from the collapsing corridor, her hands already glowing with frantic white healing energy. “Put him down, Noir,” she plead

The chamber shifted with a grinding rumble that vibrated up through Andrew’s ankles, shaking loose dust from an unseen ceiling and casting the entire team into a wavering haze of deep violet light. The air thickened immediately—denser, heavier, saturating their lungs with a coldness that carried the sharp metallic taste of something ancient and cruel waking from a long slumber. Rayan stepped back reflexively, then hissed as the ground beneath him pulsed like a heartbeat.Jiro raised his blades. “Everyone stay alert. The trial is coming.”But Andrew already felt it.A whisper that wasn’t sound but instinct scraping across the inside of his skull, dragging the remnants of the Sapphire within him closer to the surface. The Gate was not asking for strength. It was demanding it—like a mouth widening hungrily, searching for the weakest soul to devour.Then the floor split.A perfect circle carved itself around Rayan with a burst of violet fire, isolating him in a ring of sigils that glowed

Andrew drifted in a darkness so absolute it felt thick and liquid, clinging to his thoughts like ink seeping into the cracks of an already fractured mind. There was no sound, no ground, no sensation except the distant echo of a fading heartbeat—his own, dissolving slowly into the void surrounding him. He tried to inhale, but the darkness pressed against his lungs like invisible weights, suffocating and relentless in its silent insistence.He could not tell if minutes, hours, or an eternity passed before a thin spark of cold blue light flickered within the abyss, pulsing once with a weakened rhythm that barely registered as life. The light grew slightly, then dimmed again, as if struggling to decide whether to continue existing or finally collapse into nothingness.Another heartbeat.Barely.Andrew tried to speak, but his voice failed, collapsing into silence that swallowed even the attempt. He reached toward the flickering light, but his arm refused to move, the darkness clinging arou
